Very nice essay! I think this is very accurate as I understand it. Another thread of this history that could easily be part of the essay is the Gladio terror operations run by NATO during the cold war, and the current Gladio B operations run by NATO in the "war on terror." (See Sibel Edmonds interviews on Gladio and Gladio B, by James Corbett for example). These probably involve arming and fostering ISIS and other groups right now, or setting the stage for future conflict areas. I think that clubs and power groups above NATO, UN, British Commonwealth, regional governments, and corporate giants enjoy taking turns manning the different puppets of power and participating in fake squabbles--the international form of political theater--to hide the lack of a real divide among the global board of directors. And to drive the agenda forward through each little crisis, scandal or "clash" they cause to make use of.
